My one and only,
What am I gonna do if you turn me down
When I'm so crazy over you

I'd be so lonely
Where am I gonna go if you turn me down
Why blacken all my skies of blue

I tell you I'm not asking any miracle
It can be done, it can be done
I know a clergyman who will roll lyrical
And make us one, and make us one

So my one and only
There isn't a reason why you should turn me down
When I'm so crazy over you

To show affection in your direction
You know I'm fit and able
I more then merely love you sincerely
My cards are on the table

Say there must be lots of other men you hypnotise
All of a sudden I've begun to realise
As follows....

My one and only
(Tap dancing)...if you turn me down
When I'm so crazy over you
(Taps)
I'd be so lonely
(Taps)...if you turn me down
Why blacken all my skies of blue

I tell you I'm not asking any miracle
(Taps)
I know a clergyman who will roll lyrical
(Taps)

Oh my one and only
(Taps)...if you turn me down
When I'm so crazy over you

(Tap Dancing and piano to end)
